ABC News ExclusiveGeorge Zimmerman Video Shows Injury to Back of His Head

Enhanced video footage of George Zimmerman(external - login to view) being taken into custody less than 30 minutes after he shot and killed Florida teenTrayvon Martin(external - login to view) shows the neighborhood watch captain with what could be an injury to the back of his head.

The never-before-seen evidence of an injury to Zimmerman(external - login to view), in this case a gash or mark to his head, would appear to back his claim that he was in an altercation with Martin on the night of Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman says he shot the teen in self defense after he was attacked.

Zimmerman, 28, claims Martin, 17, punched him in the nose, knocked him down and repeatedly slammed his head into the ground.

The police surveillance video, first obtained exclusively by ABC News last month and clarified by Forensic Protection, Inc., shows Zimmerman exiting the police cruiser with his hands cuffed behind his back. Zimmerman is frisked and then led down a series of hallways, still cuffed. At one point, one of the officers stops to look briefly at the back of Zimmerman's head.

There was no obvious sign of any injury to Zimmerman's head or face on the video until it was enhanced. But the enhanced video does not show any visible injury to Zimmerman's nose, nor any signs of blood on his shirt.

IF the video had to be enhanced to show this small injury .......which does not even appear to be a fresh , bleeding injury (recent) and most certainly does not seem to qualify as the result of what has been described as "head bashing " against the sidewalk. His hair would have been bloodied and matted and dishevilled. (even if it is short)

IF his head had been battered as his people indicate...... he would have been dizzy, just from the force and repeated impact.The video does not corroborate the words of the Zimmerman group. Where are the close up photos ? One "assumes" they took some during the initial investigation of the crime scene.

He did TWO THINGS WRONG: for sure he followed Martin , when he was not supposed to. (the neighborhood watch guidelines indicate this ) AND he was TOLD NOT TO FOLLOW. Second: he was carrying a weapon. Against neighborhood watch guidelines. It is these two wrongs that created a third major tragic wrong. Everything else is just chatter.

by virtue of following Martin........he became a threat to Martin.

Attorneys for the family of slain black teenager Trayvon Martin are asking the U.S. Justice Department to review reports that prosecutors undermined a police investigation of shooter George Zimmerman by overruling a detective who wanted to charge him. The Justice Department’s civil rights division had already agreed to review the local Florida investigation into the racially charged case that has riveted the country. Waves of demonstrations have called for Zimmerman’s arrest.

Of course this incident was not racially motivated, but then we do not know if he whispered any in her ear..............Tyrone Woodfork charged in home invasion, elderly murder(external - login to view)

Zimmerman has a small spot on his head, but he appears no worse for wear when the
cops brought him in. The voice recordings do not match Zimmerman screaming for
assistance. Zimmerman was armed and contrary to the law went after Martin because
he suspected him of something, nothing definite just something. If you follow a person
you cannot under Florida Law claim self defence.
The other item that bothers me is this, if you were to follow someone for suspicion of
something without a crime being committed and you are armed, like Martin you would no
run because the guy had a gun. Therefore you would fight for your life or be shot and
while fighting for your life you would scream for help. Even if Zimmerman had a bump on
his head it was likely the result of a struggle for the gun that Zimmerman was going to use.
As my father always said once you show a gun be prepared to use it should be every
fools motto.
No I am becoming more convinced Zimmerman killed this kid for no reason and the law is
fully intent on covering it up and here is a possible reason why.
Some months ago the housing complex, full of affluent citizens announced Zimmerman was
the security caretaker, in the State they can therefore be held responsible for Zimmerman's
actions. That means whether or not he is found guilty there can be a civil suit filed later like
the OJ case and the family could take the complex full of folks to the cleaners.

One more reason that false reporting - should have more consequences than someone losing their job.
Nothing more than inciting hatred. Trayvon Martin shooting: Misleading edit of 911 audio ends with NBC producer being fired | News | National Post
NEW YORK – NBC News has fired a producer following a probe into its broadcasting of a misleading edit of an audio clip of a 911 emergency response call during coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting, two sources at the network said.
The producer, who was not identified by the sources, is Miami-based. NBC News declined to comment when asked about the dismissal, which the sources said took place on Thursday.
Reuters had previously reported that the “seasoned” producer was at the center of the probe.
NBC News executives interviewed more than half a dozen employees during their investigation of the network’s editing of the tape of the 911 call placed by George Zimmerman before he shot the unarmed Florida teenager, sources at the network had said on Thursday.
The edit made it appear as though Zimmerman told police that Martin was black without being prompted, when, in fact, the full tape reveals that the neighborhood watch captain only did so when responding to a question asked by the dispatcher.
The clip aired on the network’s flagship “Today” morning show last week.

‘Suited, Booted, and Armed’: Unbelievable Audio From the New Black Panthers on Bloody, Anti-Capitalist ‘Race War’ Against White Devils

The New Black Panthers had a group phone call Friday to discuss the April 9 rally for Trayvon Martin.(Related: Malik Zulu Shabazz: New Black Panthers Planning April 9 ‘Day of Action’)(external - login to view)

Hosted primarily by Michelle Williams and Chawn Kweli(external - login to view), the New Black Panther’s chief of staff in Tampa and a national spokesman, respectively, the call was filled with violent, hate-filled speech outlining the party’s future plans. Words like “war, cracker, and blood“ seemed to be the biggest ”buzz words” in the conversation.

Listen to the stunning audio, courtesy of Breitbart.com(external - login to view):

For the second time in roughly two weeks a CNN employee has said "f--king n--ger" on the air.
The most recent vulgarity came from CNN national correspondent Susan Candiotti Sunday during a report on the shooting spree in Tulsa, Oklahoma (video follows with transcript and commentary, serious vulgarity warning):

That story delves into the boys background and myspace page ffs. Zimmerman did a google search on the kid while he was following him? None of that sh1t is relavent to whether it was self defense or vigilantism.

Zimmerman claims the kid returned and confronted him. Which makes sense to me actually.......Martin got spooked, and took off.....but being 17 and male, was ashamed of his flight, and returned.

Pure conjecture, but in such a case Martin would already be upset and angry when he found Zimmerman.

The entire episode is a tragedy.

If that was what happened the shooting would be technicaly justified but if Florida didn't have that law then Zimmerman probably would have backed off after spooking the boy and the boy would have made it home to tell a story of some crazy whitey checking him out.
